Crockpot Chicken Stuffing
This Crockpot Chicken Stuffing is an easy, hands-off slow cooker recipe blending tender chicken, savory herbs, and fluffy stuffing into one cozy, all-in-one meal.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts about 3 medium pieces
- 2 packages seasoned stuffing mix 6 oz each, classic herb or GF
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half optional for creaminess
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
- 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small pats
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Chop onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Mix dried sage, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker and pat dry so seasoning sticks.
- Scatter onion, carrots, celery, and garlic over the chicken for flavor and moisture.
- Pour chicken broth and milk around the edges to keep herbs in place and ensure even cooking.
- Sprinkle stuffing mix evenly on top without stirring to allow natural absorption.
- Tuck butter pats into the stuffing for a golden, rich finish.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (or high for 2½ hours), lifting the lid once to peek at 2-hour mark.
- Remove chicken when it hits 165°F, shred with forks, then fold back into the stuffing mix.
- Turn off the slow cooker and let the dish rest, covered, for 10 minutes so flavors meld.
Notes
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months—thaw overnight before reheating.
